Visual harmony: Northern lights & Ireland’s coast

We were treated to a special light show this week thanks to the Aurora Borealis as atmospheric conditions over Ireland saw the phenomenon occur further South than usual.

The Aurora, also known as the Northern Lights, is caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with atoms in the upper atmosphere (Yes, I googled that!). More typical of Scandinavia, the impressive display could be easily seen along the North coast with Donegal and Derry getting the best of it.
